I like to think we have many “House Specialties” which include our Crab Omelet, real crab meat, cheddar cheese & mushrooms, our Sunfest Omelet, Swiss cheese, ham & mushrooms; Cafe or French Sampler, pancakes or French toast, with eggs, bacon and sausage. Homemade creamed chipped beef/toast and sausage gravy/biscuits with browned potato home fries, with onion, excellent cheesesteak subs and fries and more!
